Discover the best of Sacred Valley of the Incas

Description

Discover the most significant Inca sites in the Sacred Valley. We will begin our exciting adventure early at 7:00 am, departing in our private transportation to Chinchero, a picturesque village located in the Sacred Valley, where you can explore its ancient walls and Inca ruins, as well as learn about its fascinating history. Additionally, you will enjoy a small demonstration of handmade textile art by talented local women. We will continue our journey towards the famous circular terraces of Moray, where it is believed that the Incas experimented with different crops and agricultural techniques. We will then head to the Maras Salt Mines, which is made up of more than 7,500 pools where some of the world’s best salt is extracted to date. The Incas used this salt for consumption, and you can purchase this product to take home with you. Later, we will stop in Urubamba for a delicious buffet lunch of typical Peruvian dishes. You will find a wide variety of options available, and it will be the perfect opportunity to try many of the region’s traditional foods. After lunch, we will continue to Ollantaytambo, the “last living Inca city.” We will visit its unique and extensive archaeological site, which houses water sources, high terraces, temples, and much more. The archaeological site is surrounded by imposing mountain peaks, colorful valleys, and the view of a  distant glacier—further proof of the impressive skills the Incas had in their architecture. You can walk its beautiful cobblestone streets and take incredible photographs while consulting with our expert guide on any questions about this Inca city. Our next stop is Pisac, where we will explore its archaeological site. In fact, the Pisac complex is famous for its terraces that extend harmoniously from the base of the mountain to the top. You will also see the largest Inca cemetery and the Intihuatana of Pisac, famous for predicting the solstice and equinox that determined the agricultural calendar of the ancient culture. The most incredible thing about this Inca city is that it has the shape of a condor. Subsequently, we will enter the traditional market of Pisac to buy crafts and take with you the best memories of this fantastic trip. Finally, we will return to Cusco in our transportation and leave you at your hotel for a well-deserved rest after an exciting day full of culture, history, and unique landscapes in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. end 6:30 to 7:00 pm.
